Memories of being clean and sober
JaLong:
Ginger, why are you so full of venom? My bad for not seeing the date on the post. Haven't been on in a long time. I wonder why? Don't you dare judge me girl. I am not into any step-craft, just life. Get a life Ginger, and maybe you will find some true happiness inside of yourself to where you don't feel the need to "try" to down almost everything someone has said. I feel you are a very opinionated person, and very judgemental. You might want to think before you "paint's what you see". Everyone has a different perspective of their own reality, and you don't even know me. Personally, I don't even read 3/4ths of your posts, because I know you are doggin someone else. By the way, your words don't bother me at the least. I don't give my power to anyone. I just felt the need to say how I feel about you. Take it or leave it.

Uh, Julie, I'm not bitter. Sorry, I just like to call bullshit on program-speak now that I'm free to do so. You're selling not being stoned (or is it the Seed group experience?) like it's the latest, greatest designer drug.
I thought it was friggin hillarious, that's all. Don't take it so personally.
They serve so that we don't have to. They offer to give up their lives so that we can be free. It is, remarkably, their gift to us. And all they ask for in return is that we never send them into harm's way unless it is absolutely necessary. Will they ever trust us again?

"Landyh,
I was told by a counslor that I was an alcholic, a drug addict, and a sex addict(yeah right). Anyhow I did question that because I was drinking on a daily basis with my youngest daughters father. So into the room of AA I walked. I joined a group of women only. I felt very loved and welcomed there from the first day. The values and goals I saw in these women was something I wanted.I soaked things up like a sponge. After 2 wks I chose a sponsor, and from the beginning she kept asking me, " are you sure you are an alcholic"? Well being at a very low point in my life right then, I thought I was. As the years went on she kept asking me the same thing. Then I moved to Gulfport, and joined a group on the beach. There I saw so much bull. Gossiping, 13 stepping, others hooked on gambling, stealing money for their own selfish reasons, and I blew out of there. I tried a beer many months later, and didn't have another one for 2 months. I have a drink on occasion, yet I can take it or leave it. So, do you understand why I am not an alcholic? Thank God!. In the program I did learn a lot about who I was, and what I wanted for my life. I just felt so much negativity in some of the rooms. It just wasn't for me. Lyndyh, as I said before, I still have all my tools in my tool box that I use. Being in the program definatly brought me back to a very close relationship with my Creator. I have that peace that surpases all understanding, and any trials or issues I go through I grow from. I have an addictive personallity, that I know for sure.So I stay away from people, places, and things that bring any kind of negativity into my life. I do have choices, and I use them wisely.
Take care, Julie"

Thanks for taking the time to answer my question. I can understand that and I am glad that you are not an alcoholic. Glad that AA provided something of benefit to you in spite of that and sorry you had to see how sometimes groups can begin to operate outside of priciple. Thank God there not all like that but none are perfect.

Perhaps because there is absolutely nothing in the post that relates in any substantive way with what any of us were saying. In fact the only thing abundantly clear is that the person posting has an appalling inability to comprehend what they read. 1st grade indeed.
